Amongst the several remedies proposed to mitigate or dimi h.:_l. the b urt h en of ' poor -laws, none has hitherto been brought the able-bodied members of society, to be responsible for their own support. m il ' In a st a t e o f employment and health every one may b e doomed eapable o f self-support ; competition has, no doubt, re deq the rew ar d s of labour to the stan d ar d o f ex i s t ence , ren ering it the more Necessary that the smallost surplus, over exi gencies, should be carefully husbanded, in order that, by the best faeilit' 't ,e- given to eco nomy an d th e a ppli ca tio n of means to ends, nay be rendered capable of supplying the deficiencies, caused by m artt 51 employment, sickness, the several casualties of life, and by p t i o - , a g e • Over the frequent fluctuations in the quantity of em -de'inlent, the - employed have no controul ; and, as the cause is not wh i r '1 on fixed law s , b u t most frequently on the contingencies au . ect the qu an tit y o f mone y, their dur a ti on or occurrence e annot be su b mitted to calculation—at any rate the remedy is be their their reach. The laws of sickness have been sufficiently as certained, for fi x i ng a prov i s i on apport i oned to the value of a given con tributi on ; b ut although such a provision i s no t t o b e over l oo k e d, it " a l nt s of trifling importance compared to the hard s hip s resu lti ng f rom of employm en t , an d unprovided old age. Want of employ ;_e,, sickn ess, and old age, may fairly be classed under one head, — d a state of non - productiveness. To those, therefore, who rate itepend on their labour, which is seldom too highly remune when' em b ust b, a matter of importance, out of their earnings ..ployed, to provide for everperiod of non-productiveness, hem whichever of the foregoing causes it may arise. 111. The two institutions open to the productive classes, are Sa vings Banks and Benefit Societies whose nature and scope, when examined, will be found to offer but a very imperfect remedy against not best being institution s wherein the tedmeans of this class are nay s made applicable to their several ends. coating Banks are of unquestionable utility, but they afford no nt future advantage, and, besides, the sum that can be hoarded is in commensurat with the wants of the middle pro ductive classes. Benefit Societies propose to offer provision in sickness and old e, but their constructio n will be found imperfect, and their plan (oe least profitable a pre t•on of the means of econom. 1.

Because many must contribute to the sick fund who never become chargeable upon it, and the value of such contribu tions is lost to themselves and families. 4. Because sickness, being a state of non-productiveness, must necessarily be included in any protection against such an oc , currenee. si .V. Vari ous o b servations have been made on the duration of c 'nese, amongst the industrious classes, from an early period of life fltil its close. Those most in use are,—the sickness amongst the sickness Societi es i n S cot l an d, g i ven b y t h e Hi g hl an d S oc i ety ; — t h e eoless amongst the labourers in the East India Company's Ser ;—the sickness amongst persons employed in Cotton, Silk, w ool, Fl ax , and in the Potteries, by the Factory Commissioners ; and th e s i c k ness amongst the English Benefit Societies, from re `urns made to the Society for the Diffusion of• Useful Knowledge. These results, though varied, show how inconsiderable is the C!Mount of sickness during that period of life, between the ages of tiend 05, when each indi v id ua l i s more i mme d ia t e ly th rown on hi s own resources;—they are as follows : Average Average yearly Class of Persons.

V. From the foregoing facts it must be obvious that provision in I !ekuus, or a Health Assurance by means of a separate contribu tion, is unnecessary, more particularly as such separate contribu ",°ll must tend to waste the r esourc e s out of which the industrious c asses have t o p rov id e f or t h e f uture.

TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, BY MR. GEORGE ( ROBINS, At the Auction Mart, on THURSDAT, the 10th of May, at Twelve, in Two Lots, by direction of the Executors and Devises in trust of Joseph Aldridge, Esq , deceased, A Distinguished FAMILY RESIDENCE, long since recognised as the LEADING FEATURE of the DELIGHTFUL VICINAGE at GOLDER'S HILL, HENDON. It would be difficult to find a parallel case where a splendid abode and A DOMAIN of NINETY ACRES of RICH PASTURES are to be found within half an hour's drive of the metropolis. Within is such an infinity of comfort that it were impossible to find fault. There is not a convenience suggested by one of the fastidious school that will not be visible here ; and those who indulge in the delight of society will not be disappointed if they fondly contem plate the capability to receive at their soirees all the elite of this re spected neighbourhood. The EXTENSIVE PARKLIKE GROUNDS, the SPLENDID WOODLAND SCENERY, are alike strangers to any neighbouring contemporary. The urn brageous and romantic walks that ENCOMPASS this BEAUTIFUL PANORAMA should be seen to be properly estimated. There is, within a limited space, hill, and dale, and water to an extent that render the picture quite perfect ; the walled gardens are very ample, and most prolific in fruit and vegetables. The Mansion, Gardens, and 20 acres of land are on lease to JOSHUA EVANS, Esq., who has expended a very large sum in improvements, and exhibited in this outlay a taste worthy of imitation. The PLEASURE FARM includes SIXTY-THREE ACRES of PASTURE, , of a quality not to be surpassed, in a situation quite irresistible with a view to the ERECTION of VILLA RESIDENCES, . _ _ and of which immediate possession will be given. The Tenure includes FREEHOLD, COPYHOLD, and Leasehold of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster ; also The GREAT TITHES OVER 80 ACRES. The Residence , can only be seen from Twelve till Three on Tuesday and Wednesday in each week, with a card. Particulars had of Messrs. Aldridge and Nind, Solicitors, Austin-friars ; the Mart ; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent-garden. IMPORTANT SALE OF FIRST-RATE WINES IN BOTTLE. NEAR TWENTY-THREE THOUSAND BOTTLES. MR.

A SELECTION OF WINES OF THE VERY FIRST CHARACTER, And sold under circumstances, that while it makes manifest that it is a Genuine Sale, and without a limit as to price, proclaims a still more important fast, that the quality of theso Wines is such as to justify and enable him to challangc a comparison anywhere. The facts out of which this statement is made are shortly these— An eminent Wholesale House, of the first celebrity, has allowed their duty paid stock to accumulate by slow degrees, until it has ar rived at the immense quantity which will be stated below ; and the charaeter of the vendors is demonstrative proof that wine of a doubtful nature has never been permitted to occupy a place in their extensive cellars. It would be almost invidious to seleet any for particular praise ; they may all be eulogised with great truth and sincerity, and recommended to those who incline in the laudable propensity to indul ge their friends with some o f th e fi nest Wi nes i n England. THIS SPLENDID AND UNEQUALLED STOCK INCLUDES TWENTY-TWO THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY BOTTLES, of which the following is a short detail :- 37g dozen of the finest Clarets, 316 dozen of the choicest Port, shipped by Eade, Johnson, and and most approved vintages, Cunliffe; including all the best from two to eight years in growth of the last 13 years. bottle, the major part shipped IEO dozen Champagne, from by Dixon, Fonseca, and others.

AND A PLEASING PROSPECT OF A SEAT IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, in London, on THURCDAY, the 21st June, at Twelve o'Clock, in One Lot, THE DISTINGUISHED FREEHOLD ESTATE, recognized, from an eady period, as EN MORE CASTLE, ONE OF THE GREAT FEATURES OF SOMERSET'S FAVOURED COUNTY, delightfully placed between the Two admired MARKET TOWNS OF TAUNTON AND BRIDGWATER. It has during the last three years been reconstructed, and modelled, more in accordance with present taste. Its outward form is of THE ROMAN DORIC ORDER, aid in excellent keeping with the interior, which claims a super abundance of comfort. It is embellished by Colonnades of Bath and Portland stone ; and from the higher balcony the splendid scenery is brought into immediate contact. It should be remarked, that being disencumbered of many of its original superfluities, it has now put on the character of A COMFORTABLE FAMILY MANSION. THE PARK AND DOMAIN OF RICH LAND EXTEND TO SIX HUNDRED ACRES, and the po rtions of it which are absolutely let yield ' A RENTAL OF 1,028/. PER ANNUM, besides the MANSION HOUSE, LAKE, WOODS, AND COPPICES, with the reserved right of Sporting, of the estimated value of 2001. making altogether A SECURE RENTAL OF 1,200/. A-YEAR. The situation of THE FAR-FAMED PROPERTY UNDER REVIEW renders it anything but an easy task to do it justice without en es a short but delightful drive to E nmere , countering a fear that the writer may be charged with colouri ng hi s SCHOOL OF SCEPTICS pi f c r t . gr yt e o t b o i o ns hi i g ni b yti l o v lE . The all those who belon to ➢ in the fulLassurance that they will return persuaded that the repre sentation, if it be defective, may be traced to its inadequate des cription.THE SOFT UNDULATIONS OF SURFACE, THE ORNAMENTAL IN THE LAKE OF FOUR ACRES PARK, THE SCENERY R lET RESPLE A N D EXTENTDENT IN INTEREST, V A- Y, Relieving and deluding the eye into a belief that it is of boundless extent, THIS SPLENDID AND UNEQUALLED PANORAMA encompasses a considerable portion of the delectable vale of So morset, the Bristol Channel and Welch Coast, the Mendip and Quantoch Hills, THE FAMED GLASTONBURY TOR, and Bridgewater Spire, THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT OF SPORTING OVER THE FARMS IS PRESERVED. And there is plenty of good fishing, which are auxiliaries not to be overlooked. The neighbourhood stands high in repute for its social habits; good-fellowship seems to prevail everywhere. The following is a short analysis of the family aecommodation that reigns within this " HIGHLY IMPROVED MANSION." On the ground floor—a dining parlour, drawing room, and break fast room, loft y an d of large dimensions, a justice room, servant's hall, butler's pantry, housekeeper's room, a kitchen adapted t o pro vide a splendid repast to the respectable constituency of Bridge water or Taunton ; a Portland stone staircase, leading to the first uite, wherein there is a library 43 feet by 22, and near 20 feet high ; ten bed-chambers, and dressin rooms. " THE GRAND SUITE - OF ROOMS" are in direct communication with the Paved Galleries, which give great facility to the luxuriant scene, which is at one view developed. On the second suite there are eight bed-chambers and nurseries with abundant accommodation for - the establishment; water-closets judiciously placed on each floor, with offices of every description of a corresponding character. The Mansion in its new and improved state appears to call loudly for a favourable response from the respectable c onst i tuency of Bridgewater or Taunton. Its influen tial powers are no longer matter of doubt, and one of the NEW MEMBERS MUST DOMICILIATE HIMSELF AT ENMORE. M . 7h of the d ecorative part is in early progress, so th a t the capa bility to display good taste in contradistinction to the infirmity of the olden times, may be numbered amongst its many advantages; and this observation will apply in a measure to the Court-yard and outward . buildi ngs. The Ornamental Lake i n front may b e i n creased, so as to form a considerable feature. THE KITCHEN GARDEN is Prolific in Fruit and Vegetables. THE PLEASURE GROUNDS AND LAWN are adorned by an infinity of Evergreens. The Out-offices are of recent creation ; detached and well arranged. Such is a moderated outline of som e f ew of the varied attributes to which Enmore puts in an incontestible claim. The Estate can he viewed. Particulars, with a Lithographic Drawing, may be had twenty-eight days prior to the Sale at the New London Hotel, Exeter ; White Hart, Bath ; Plough, Chelten ham ; the Clarence Hotel, Bridgewater ; the Castle, Taunton ; of Mr. Broadmead, solicitor, Langport, Somerset ; the Marc ; and at Mr. Robins's Office, London.

On Monday, 16th April, 1638, the Half-yearly General Meeting of the Agricultural and Commercial Bank of Ireland was held at the Company's House, Fleet-street, at eleven o'clock. On the motion of J. DWYZIt, Esq., seconded by S. Pa arzErt, Esq., Alderman WILLIAM HODGES (Me m b er o f t h e Board f Directors), was unanimously called to the Chair, and read to the Meeting the Report of the Board as follows : ,‘ GENTLEMEN—In compliance with the resolutions passed at the last half-yearly meeting, the Directors have paid to Proprie tors a balance of 9,0001. received on account of third instalment, and 5,0001. on account of dividend struck in October, 1836. They have also paid off all remaining balances due to bankers, arising from the final close of accounts with them on foot of returned bills, or otherwise—making a total of payments since last meeting, on these accounts, of 24,3121. " Your Directors further proceeded with the gradual reduction of branches in those districts wherein a profitable return had not accrued, and the resumption of discount business, as well as the continuance of the ordinary operation of banking, at those branches which have proved remunerative, and from which past experience demonstrated that a fair profit might be anticipated. The result has been satisfactory, and progressive improvement is manifest both in the business and character of the transactions . The greatest circumspection has been need in the accommodation granted, and the issues at the several branches have been regulated solely by the legitimate action of commerce. " It is gratifying to reflect that the principle of Joint-stock Banks has been fully sustained by your Company, which, notwith standing the unparalleled difficulties in which it was placed by the peculiar crisis of the autumn of 1836, aggravated by the unreason able conduct of a portion of the proprietary, has, in little more than one year, fully and entirely paid off all liabilities existing at the period of the pressure, without loss to any individual, including- the full payment and cancelling of the note issue then outstanding ; re suming the ordinary course of business at the agency in Dublin and at twenty of the selected branches, with a new plate and issue, a numerous and wealthy proprietary located in those districts best adapted for profitable commerce. Your Directors trust that consideration for the welfare of the country will induce the other Joint-stock Banks in Ireland to act without reference to petty jealousies or narrow objects; and that they will see that the interests of all parties are best promoted by fairly expanding, in place of unduly cramping, the energies of the country. Its resources are great, and the manner in which the agricultural districts of Ireland have paid off the obligations con tracted therein to your Company, warrant your Board in asserting that they are deserving of encouragement and support ; whilst, on the other hand, improvident speculation should be discouraged, every legitimate assistance should be extended to develope the resources of the country, and assist the industry of the people. A Joint stock Bank should, to a fair extent, sympathise with the popula tion, and not be governed by the merely sordid consideration of pecuniary profit. The nobility and gentry should naturally support those institutions which best support the general interest and per manent welfare of their tenantry. " At this crisis your Board consider that such remarks are not irrelevant, as the subject of the Bank of Ireland Charter (which has, in date, expired) may now be c ons id ere d as before the Le gislature. Connected as that subject is with the best interests of Ireland and of the empire, your Directors anticipate that no system of expediency or of compromise will retard or control the broad principle involved in freedom of trade ; and that, whilst the Bank Corporation may fairly retain privileges as a chartered body, yet that unwise restrictions upon other banking institutions will be removed, leaving open to all (under such salutary regulations as the wisdom of the Legislature may dictate) the trade of banking free, as in Scotland, unimpeded by invidious monopoly, thus in viting a legitimate rivalry with an equality of rights, (as far as legislation is concerned,) whieh must conduce to the well-being of the community. " The importance of the subject will naturally challenge the at tention of the leading men of all parties ; and your Directors, fully aware of its importance, deem it their duty to call your atten tion to it, and to impress upon the proprietary the utility of exertion to advance the interests of their property, by zealous co-operation with your Board. " In conclusion, your Board feel quite warranted by the progress made since the last meting, in stating their conviction that the prospects of the Company are cheering, the best evidence of which will be found in the statement of assets and liabilities now sub mitted to you, which, with the guarantee of a numerous and wealthy proprietary (registered pursuant to the provisions of 6 Geo. IV., chap. 42), present a security to the public for the transac tions of your Company of an undoubted character. Without enter ing into minute particulars as to the nature of your surplus assets (amounting to 261,1971.) your Board feel justified in giving their opinion that, making those allowances which are usually incidental to banking transactions, an available capital, adequate for the due conduct of twenty branches, with perfect security to the public, combining safety and profit to the proprietary, may be fairly counted upon. Your Board refrains from adverting to the pleasing con trast which the present state of your Company presents to that which twelve months age was sought to be imposed upon you, under circumstances rendered the more peculiar from results since ascer tained, the best vindication of the Board is found in the fact of your present position—with all liabilities then existing paid off, the security of the shareholders demonstrated, and the property of the Company (in place of being wasted by litigation) preserved with the Institution. " What has passed, however, may be buried in oblivion, and union, perseverance, and fair reciprocity inculcated for the general good. " Signed on behalf of the Daily Board, "JOHN VANCE (Belfast), Chairman." Adopted by the General Moeting, WM. HODGES ( Alderman) Chairman. It was than moved by WILLIAM EIMONSTON, of Belfast, Esq. ; and seconded by Mr. JOHN ITCOT, of Clones : Resolved—That the Report and Accounts now submitted be received and entered on the minutes. Moved by JAMES DWYER, Es . '''''' secondedby F.

WELDON, of Li s b urn, E sq. ; secon d e d by e and Resolved—That we recommend that every practicable measure of prudent economy shall be observed coincident with the judicious lo cation and curtailment of branches.
